What is Multaq used for?
Multaq is a medication used to treat heart rhythm disorders such as atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter.

Ideally, this medication will reduce the risk of hospitalization for atrial fibrillation.
This medication should only be used for temporary atrial fibrillation, and not permanent atrial fibrillation due to the risk of very serious side effects.
